Toledo police are still looking for 18-year-old Traqwuan Gibson and 18-year-old Deandre Smith in connection with an assault inside Scott High School last Wednesday. Toledo police say that they and a third man were let into the school through a locked door by a 15-year-old student. Once inside, the suspects confronted a 17-year-old student and started to attack him. When a teacher went to break up the fight the three suspects and the 15-year-old student who let them into the building fled.

According to Toledo Police Sgt. Joe Heffernen, detectives are trying to determine if the incident is gang related. "There is some information that the 3 suspects are members of the Manor Boys gang and that they thought the 17-year-old is a member of a rival gang," Sgt. Heffernen said.

Toledo Police ask that anyone who knows of the whereabouts of Gibson and Smith to call CrimeStopper at 419-255-1111.
